Go Big with the BODathon

The BODathon is a fitness event concocted by Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler to motivate him to get into peak shape using Beachbody On Demand. On Oct 31—certainly to look good in his Halloween costume—Carl will complete three difficult Beachbody workouts, back to back. Four, actually, but the last one is a cool down, so we’re not counting it as a “workout.”

“I need something to train for; a goal,” says Daikeler. “I’ve stayed in decent shape since I did a round of 21 Day Fix EXTREME and have stayed consistent with Shakeology and 3-Day Refresh all year. But I tend to get lazy with exercise…so, I’m creating my own ‘point.’ I’m training for my own special event, to see if I can do it. A ‘BODathon’ if you will.”

The back-to-back workouts are no picnic all by themselves. They’re P90X’s Core Synergistics, Body Beast’s Total Body, and 21 Day Fix EXTREME’s Plyo Fix Extreme. INSANITY: THE ASYLUM Relief is the cool down. Stacking these workouts one after another is a brutal test.

As is his usual, Carl’s asked his friends to join in, and he’s got a lot of them. He’s created a Facebook group, which you can find here.

To prepare for the event, Carl had me create a two-month training program for him (and you!) that begins Tuesday, September 1st. We’ve also posted it in the Beachbody Message Boards here. There, feel free to ask questions, seek modifications, or simply just complain about how hard it is. Come on in and you’re guaranteed to get super fit, whether you end up doing the challenge or not. But you’re going to want to do it. You know you are. And this program will have you ready to send it in style.

There will be more updates on the event, which you’ll find here on the Beachbody Blog, on Carl’s Blog, or by joining the Facebook group. For those of you who’d like to participate but have other fitness events on your calendar, I’ll be modifying the program so that it’s more sports specific. You can check this out on my blog, here.

“Some people train for a ‘Tough Mudder’ or a marathon,” adds Daikeler. “I’m training for my very own two-and-a-half-hour marathon string of workouts on Beachbody On Demand Saturday, October 31st. Yeah, Halloween. And it’s gonna be scary.”
